Description
### Describe the bug
After downloading and installing the latest version of the extension in the Firefox browser, I encountered an error that prevented the extension from functioning properly. However, when I removed the extension and downloaded it again, the issue was resolved, and the extension started working as expected. This suggests that the error may be related to the initial installation process. Further investigation may be needed to identify the root cause of the issue. I did not track the state or the console log at the point of error.
Note:- I did not observe the error previous release version.
